Transporting on plywood.....it fit perfectly in back of truck, so snug that nothing could move while transporting

surface prepped for mosaic

First section placed on fireplace surround. I had to hold it for a while then
tape it, because of gravity. It really wanted to slide down. My fear was the
next morning I would find it in a pile at the base of fireplace

What have you been doing during your summer vacation? oh yeah we don't get summer vacation anymore do we. This is what I have been doing after work and on weekends? I was asked to design and make a mosaic heart for All the Arts for All the Kids( http://www.alltheartsforallthekids.org/ )The hearts will be displayed in downtown Fullerton and auctioned off to raise money for the art programs. A design proposal was sent in. Then the project got started.

Where to start? Here goes....

( thanks Katherine for suggesting to grout as I go)

it looks totally different with grout

The black is glass that I fused in a kiln before adding it as the background
